Supplies Needed:

1 package(16 ounces) Driscoll's Strawberries

10 ounceswhite chocolate chips

Candy eyes

Fine-tipped black icing tube

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Rinse the strawberries and dry them well with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Melt chocolate by placing chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave
for 20 seconds and stir with a fork. Repeat microwaving and stiring
until chocolate is not-quite melted. Shorten microwave time to 5 seconds
and stir. Repeat if necessary until completely melted.

Hold berries by stem or leaves and dip into melted chocolate.
Swirl until coated. Leave about ¼ inch of red showing below leaves.
Gently shake off excess chocolate. Place berry on prepared baking sheet
to set. Repeat with remaining berries.

Once chocolate is set, pipe a small amount of
frosting to the back of candy eyes and attach to berries.

Finally, use
frosting to add a smile, a spooky mouth, fangs, or other fun ideas you
have.
